1 Peter 3
1 In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any do not obey the word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;
Khunjila iye umwe mwi vadala mnogiwa ukhuhuma khuvagosi vinyo yumwe pakhuva avange vavo savalipokhile, ilimenyu ukhugendela, khulwikho lwa vadala vavene viwesya ukhukwegiwa panjila ya limenyu,
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
Ulwa khuva vavo vene viva valolile emivele gyieyo iminonu paninie ni elisima.
3 Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;
Eye yavombekhe msite ukhwelemba khu nji— ukhutiva injwele ifinu ifya lutalama avu emwenda, egya makhe pamba.
4 but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.
Lino ivombekhage mgati munumbula, nukhwongelela, nuvunonu wa vudekhedekhe wa numbula uvulinigalama pamiho ga Nguluve.
5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Ulwakhuva avadala avavalanche, vaelembile mbile vavo khu njela eye. Vale nulwedikho mugati mwa Nguluve vavadwadaga avalume vavo.
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
Khunjela eye uSara ampulikhe Ibrahimu nukhumwilanga, uyu vigosi vango umwe lino mulivana va mwene. Ingave yumuvomba amanonu nukhusita ukhudwada amavivi.
7 You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
Khunjila yeyeyo umwe vagosi, munogiwa ukhutama na vadala venyo mulumanya ukhuta avene valiasi vadala vapepe mungavamanye avene, ukhuta vuvi vuvipokhela avayeto ava luding'ulelo. Ulwa wuumi muvombage ewo ulusayo wenyo lusite ukhusigeuwa ukhusigiwa.
8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
Munogiwa mwivoni muve nuvufumbwe vumo, uvulenikisa, ulugano ukhuva lukololwe uvudekhedekhe, na vanyakesa.
9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
Usite ukhuhomba uvuvivi nu uvuvivi. Elidosi khwa lidosi mwendelele ukusaya, ukhuva mwalangiwe lusayo.
10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
Uvikhiva ikhukhugana nukhulola isikhu enonu alusigele ululimi lwa mwene pamavivi nimolomo ukhunchova.
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Apendukhe nu khugalekha amavivi ukhuvomba agavile manonu. Alonde amani nu khukonga.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
Amiho ga Baba gikhumbona ugolofu imbulukhutu cha mwene ukupulikha inyesayo nza mwene. Amiho ga baba lelevunge na avivomba imbivi.”
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
Veru uvikneva ikhuva ikhuvalemanza, ingave mkhu linogwa elinonu?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
Mugave pavu yelweli mutesekha msite ukhudwada gala uguvi dwada avene. Mlekhe ukhuva na masyakha.
15 But sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility and fear:
Mumbikhe uKlisite munumbula nzenyo, uvugolofu khela sekhe muvie miho. Emisekhe gwoni muvemikho, ukhumbula umunu ua uvaavenzaga emisekhe gwoni ukumbula umunu uveavechaga. uvikhuva vunza khekhi mulenu luhuvelo kha Nguluve. Muvombage ewo nekhisa nu lwemekho.
16 having a good conscience; so that when they speak evil against you, they may be put to shame who slander your good manner of life in Christ.
Mvenzage ni nyivonelo inonu ukhuta avanu ukhuta avanu avidokha emitamelo gyenyo iminonu mwa Klisite vafwe isoni ulwa khuva viezova vunge khunge kuwimwe ukha mwale vavomba mbivi.
17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
Lunonu finzo, ingave uNguluve inogwa ukhuta mkuvelage khu mbombo inonu, mulekhe ukhukuvelwa ni mbombo imbivi.
18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
UKlisite vope akuvilwe khamo ukhukongana runongwa imbivi. Umwene vealenilweli akuvilwe ukhukongana nufue, twitwale vuvule elweli ukhuta atukheleke ufue kwa Nguluve. Afuile khembili humbe apeliwe mwumi mwa mepo.
19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
Ukhukongana nu mepo alutile nukhu chilumbelela imemopo chincho lino nchelimbukungwa.
20 who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.
Sanchilikhukonga sanchilikhuva nuvudwadwa sanchale nuvu dwadwa vu uNguluve vuulwiyumilineno lwa Nguluve vulugulela usekhe gwa nwakha isikhu inchuyajengiwa gwa eNguluve pu, uNguluve avapo khile avanu vadebe vale, nane ukhuhuma mulwongomencho lwa magasi.
21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the body, but an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Ekhi khihwani khya ubatizo ulolukhuvapokha umwe lino sayehwanine, ndukhusukha uvuvivi, ukhuhuma mumbeimbeli, lino yiva nduludovo lwa nyivonelo inonu khwa Nguluve, ukhugendela mmbuni chukekha wa Yesu Klisite.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
Umwene alekhirookho ikha khundwpo ikha Nguluve. Alutile khukhanya avasuhwa nu vuvaha. na makha avasuhwa, nuvuvaha na makha fidwadage.
